MPEG4 Encoded HD channels on DVB-S does not work?

Recently I bought a 37PFL6777K/12 and use it to watch satellite TV (DVB-S) with my CanalDigitaal subscription in the Netherlands. All worked well for the SD channels. Recently I upgraded my CanalDigitaal subscription for SD to HD channels.
After reinstalling all channels on both Astra 1 and Astra 3 satellites the HD channels promised by CanalDigitaal are found and listed. Even the CanalDigitaal automated channel ordering seems to work fine. But when I select one of the new HD channels from the list the display remains black...
All the MPEG4 encoded HD channels on Astra 3 seem to have this problem. SD channels on the same satellite seem to be OK. Non-MPEG4 HD channels on Astra 1 satellite are also OK.
I am wondering: does the 37PFL6777K/12 really support MPEG4 coded HD channels as suggested by the specifications PDF of this TV?

(see also attachment, which shows the status of one of these MPEG4 HD encoded channels - no sound for this channel?)

I checked the latest official firmware for the 37PFL6777K/12 before I posted the topic; yesterday it was still at 150.87. (same today) According to your blog 150.88 was released on the 17th of July and it may take a few days to arrive on all servers... I'll check again the next few day...

I may assume your question means to say CanalDigitaal HD channel decoding is a known issue and should have been solved in 150.88?

I have 150.88 on my TV now. Re-installed all satellites, but the problem is still there...
No display and no sound for MPEG4 encoded HD channels from CanalDigitaal. Is sees the channels and they are set up correctly (for as far as I can see...) but no sound and vision.

I was wondering - may be my CI+ module firmware needs to be updated. I tried OTA update using menu option 'Options | CI module | Canaldigitaal | Nieuwe software'. But that does not seem to work. After a few minutes it reports a failure. I tried about 5 times...

I found the solution for my problem. It appears that the CI module was too old. I bought a new one and that fixed the problem.
The old one was about 5 years old and apparently could not handle MPEG4 data stream correctly.
